Weather Reports lyrics

Well I left my baby for a dream as lovely

For a love that's only in books I read.

And then I hit the cities, spent all my money

I just left my whole life in a taxi cab.

Cause it's just a memory, I can't love completely

When you're really with me, I'm indifferent.

But I try to get my head clear

It's too full of ideas

That I haven't thought of yet.

And time, clocks keep waving their hands,

Doing all that they can

to get our attention, but

The days fly away

Down a clean interstate

And I'm staring drunk at a map.

So I let my hair down for the second time now,

For the final time, now I had my fun.

But there's no returning from the places we've been,

Just repeat our slogan, never again.

So we split, said you had to get out,

Headed back to the south,

Where everything is gentle.

And I stayed for a couple weeks more,

All the weather reports

Said it would be snow for sure

But the storm moved away

To a neighboring state

I started the car.
